He should go to Everett. The WHL is notoriously a strong defensive-factory (like the QMJHL is a strong Goaltending factory and the OHL is a superb forward factory).

Plus after seeing him DOMINATE against University of Denver in the preseason I know he is ALREADY NHL ready. He should go to Everett next year, go #2 overall in 2013, and then play in the NHL eating 20 minutes a game.
